I am from arts background and I choose BCA from amity university ONLINE 1 semesters and it cost around 25 k per semester. And currently due to AI help IT background struggle for job and I want to know my future in this field and how can I got good package salary in future by through this online degree and I know my choices are very wrong but it's just admission issue that I faced because of CUET but let's aside this. And please guide me I have very less time because I am facing some financial crisis. And I don't have much skills to offer any company but I have 2 years to learn.

Ans: I can empathize with you and your conundrum having to address financial, academic and career career options. From what I gather please apply for CEUT exam this year, prepare hard learn and do well to gain admission to a BCA program in a good institution. Once you gain admission in a BCA program, look for ways to look for part time jobs to support your fees. If you stay focused and work hard, your success is assured.

Respected Nayagam sir, I have completed my 12th in 2022 then I joined Masai School, Bangalore in Full Stack Web development course online which was job oriented program.Where I got a good knowledge in programming.While I was in my placement I realized I have to study further for graduation but because of pay after placement policy I have to sit there for an year and I joined Bachelor's of computer Application at IGNOU which is a distance University. At IGNOU no classes, no guidance and no doubt solving facility is there so I managed to learn from YouTube classes.So I am now trying to find a good university in Chhattisgarh for BCA program where I can upskill myself. Please guide me sir to take an informed decision for my future ?????.
Ans: Graduation is important for you to grow in your career. As such, it is suggested to go for BCA as you have planned. However, as just BCA is not enough due to tough competition, keep upgrading your skills with more certifications during your 3-year BCA from reputed online platforms including Linkedin, NPTEL, Internshala etc.

Have a Professional Linkedin Profile & connect with Professionals of your domain. Every 3-months, keep updating your Linkedin Profile if you have added any Certifications & also put job alerts in Linkedin, related to your domain to know about the job market expections. I hope I have clarified your doubts.

All The BEST for your Bright Future.

Career
I have got 89.2 percent in class 10 and 62.33 percent in class 12 science stream i gave enternace exam called mht cet I got 75.48 percentile. I want pursue career in the field of cs or IT. I can get average colleges of mumbai or Pune from cap round which has decent placement record for engineering. But my parents are not ready for it. They said that it is very expensive. So should I choose computer engineering from our rural area tier 3 college which has no or very less placement or should I do online BCA from amity university online with side income like youtube and blogging my gaming channel has 12.6k subscribers it pays less but I think improvement in content is possible if gave time. So what should I do this online BCA+ side hustle or engineering from tier 3 college
Ans: Dear Student,
You’re thinking practically, and that’s a good start. Let’s look at your two options clearly:
Option 1: Tier 3 Rural Engineering College (Computer Engg)
Pros:
• You get a B.E./B.Tech degree
• If you're disciplined, you can learn coding online (self-learning is key)
Cons:
• No placements, poor exposure
• You may need to spend on coaching or move to city later for job hunting
• Degree alone won't help unless you upskill yourself
Option 2: Online BCA from Amity + YouTube/Blogging (Gaming)
Pros:
• Cheaper and flexible
• You can grow your channel and skills in real-time (content, video editing, marketing, etc.)
• If you're consistent, it can become a real career in 2–3 years
• Also gives you a degree to apply for govt or IT jobs later
Cons:
• Needs self-discipline
• May not be respected by all companies
• You'll need to build your own opportunities
Go for Online BCA + Side Hustle, only if:
• You are ready to focus seriously (not treat it as time-pass)
• You keep learning coding (via free sites like freeCodeCamp, Coursera, etc.)
• You commit to grow your channel consistently (treat it like a job)

Tech Careers and Skill Development Expert - Answered on Dec 05, 2025

Career
Dear Sir, I did my BTech from a normal engineering college not very famous. The teaching was not great and hence i did not study well. I tried my best to learn coding including all the technologies like html,css,javascript,react js,dba,php because i wanted to be a web developer But nothing seem to enter my head except html and css. I don't understand a language which has more complexities. Is it because of my lack of experience or not devoting enough time. I am not sure. I did many courses online and tried to do diplomas also abroad which i passed somehow. I recently joined android development course because i like apps but the teaching was so fast that i could not memorize anything. There was no time to even take notes down. During the course i did assignments and understood the code because i have to pass but after the course is over i tend to forget everything. I attempted a lot of interviews. Some of them i even got but could not perform well so they let me go. Now due to the AI booming and job markets in a bad shape i am re-thinking whether to keep studying or whether its just time waste. Since 3 years i am doing labour type of jobs which does not yield anything to me for survival and to pay my expenses. I have the quest to learn everything but as soon as i sit in front of the computer i listen to music or read something else. What should i do to stay more focused? What should i do to make myself believe confident. Is there still scope of IT in todays world? Kindly advise.
Ans: Your story does not show failure.
It shows persistence, effort, and desire to improve.

Most people give up.
You didn’t.
That means you will succeed — but with the right method, not the old one.

Dating, Relationships Expert - Answered on Dec 04, 2025

Asked by Anonymous - Dec 02, 2025Hindi
Relationship
My married ex still texts me for comfort. Because of him, I am unable to move on. He makes me feel guilty by saying he got married out of family pressure. His dad is a cardiac patient and mom is being treated for cancer. He comforts me by saying he will get separated soon and we will get married because he only loves me. We have been in a relationship for 14 years and despite everything we tried, his parents refused to accept me, so he chose to get married to someone who understands our situation. I don't know when he will separate from his wife. She knows about us too but she comes from a traditional family. She also confirmed there is no physical intimacy between them. I trust him, but is it worth losing my youth for him? Honestly, I am worried and very confused.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand how difficult it is to let go of a relationship you have built from scratch, but is it really how you want to continue? It really seems to be going nowhere. His parents are already in bad health and he married someone else for their happiness. Does it seem like he will be able to leave her? So many people’s happiness and lives depend on this one decision. I think it’s about time you and your BF have a clear conversation about the same. If he can’t give a proper timeline, please try to understand his situation. But also make sure he understands yours and maybe rethink this equation. It really isn’t healthy. You deserve a love you can have wholly, and not just in pieces, and in the shadows.

Hope this helps
